The Christmas Fayre was a great success on Saturday and Mrs Dunn will be counting all of the contributions this morning. I will be able to post a final figure on how much we have raised on tomorrow’s blog. Fingers crossed, it is our best one yet! There was certainly lots of activity in our hall and most people left, laden with gifts and other goodies. Boys and girls, both from our school and out with, enjoyed their visit to Santa and they were able to let him know what they wanted for Christmas, in person.

A huge thank you to all of our parent helpers who spent a considerable amount of time and effort organising this event. As you can imagine, an awful lot of work goes on behind the scenes, so that we can all enjoy a fabulous day and raise as much money as we can. Thank you ladies.

I was back in Coatbridge yesterday, attending the sacramental enrolement  mass in St Bartholomew’s church at 11.30 am. Boys and girls from Primary 3, Primary 4, Primary 6 and Primary 7  were asked by Fr James to come along , with their families, to enrol themselves for their appropriate sacrament. It was lovely to see the Church so vibrant and full of our young people in the community. Long may it last!
